Maryam Kordbacheh: " The Sexuality of Flowers "

The young Dutch designer Maryam Kordbacheh, a graduate Master from Fashion Institute, Arnhem, was also selected along with Lea Peckre and eight others to participate at the 2011 Festival of Hyeres.

Maryam Kordbacheh's collection is inspired by the organic formation of nature which evokes irrevocably sensual shapes. The craftsmanship plays an important role. The handcrafted garments, originally molded from a single length of fabric, appear extremely refined and delicate. The colors are handmade with organic pigments or natural dyes like tea, coffee and herbs.

"The allure of a design resides in its purity. I mold and discover my own patterns. Experimentation, problem solving and searching for a personal way to realize my designs are most important to me. My collection, rather than being clothes, is a kind of intimate sculptures".

About Me

I am a French lady, met my husband in New York and lived in the USA since then... A Parisian in sunny California now !
I blog about the things I like. Art, design, architecture, books, photography, intriguing places, fashion, edgy stuff, inspirations of the moment, unusual, beautiful and unique pieces. Having spent my childhood in France, I write and post articles about France too. What's up is Franco-Anglo and showcases some of the exquisite things and places that I come across - hope you enjoy my " trouvailles du jour," daily musings.

Lavender and Cervantes (Don Quixote, 1804)

... but to go round the world and play at give and take with giants and dragons and monsters, and hear hissings and roarings and bellowings and howlings, and even all of this would be lavender, if we had not to reckon with Yanguesans and enchanted Moors.
